Two panel image. Line art side view of a woman looking at her phone. Second panel shows same woman looking up in exasperation while holding her phone.
Text above reads: ‘Are you busy?’ Me: ‘No’ Incoming video call
“I am shitting, so i’il not answer unless ya want to ear the orchestra”
I hate typing on a phone and I love the opportunity to knock a conversation that would’ve happened over 2-4 hours in 2 minutes.
swipes to decline
Not being busy != Free for a call of any kind.
Leave me alone. 😭
I can hear the groan in this image.
A rookie mistake. Never let them know you aren’t busy.
My boss likes to remind me I am showing as offline on slack, I turn it back on 5min and then back off
My Slack used to bug out or something and show me as away or offline constantly. My boss would call me and accuse me of slacking off when I was actually too hyper-focused on my work to notice
Sounds like a horrible boss.
For real: my boss has one policy, as long as the job gets done I don’t care. I’ll start caring as soon as the job’s not getting done.
This means I can work on my own schedule and if I keep delivering nobody asks me a question!
“Oh, sorry, you meant for a call? No, I’m in a meeting already, I’m free to do stuff but I can’t answer a call.”
Haven’t had one ever. You know you don’t have to have them?
“yes unless it involves beer”
